Thanks for the heads up. I've been watching these on Hulu. Great show.

New episode tonight:

Trust and Consequence

Spoiler:


Linda becomes a scapegoat when Veridian is sued over a perfume that caused hornets to attack women. Elsewhere, the depositions for the case affect Phil's friendship with Lem. Dr. Bhamba: Maz Jobrani.



This is episode 10. There is 3 more left. I think ABC should have saved these remaining episodes for season 2. Ratings have been horrible since obviously noone who owns a Nielsen box is watching.

Thanks for the heads up. I really enjoy this show.

I'm so glad ABC is showing the remaining episodes and has renewed the show for a 2nd Season. It's a great show that never disappoints.

I died when Veronica and her father were playing in the park. The way they were throwing the Frisbee and then when the kite caught on fire...classic.

This show is hilarious in a very quirky way. I'm with you though, I can't believe it's still on the air. It's much too clever for its own good.

I just discovered this show the other day, and although I'm only up to the third episode, I love it! It reminds me of a mixture of Arrested Development and The Office, two of my favorite shows ever.

The scene in the third episode where he says he has to watch his daughter and his boss (Lindsay!!!) says that she can wash her, and he corrects her, reminded me of the beads/bees scene on AD.

Just watch, now that I've started to fall for this show they'll take it away from me. :(

You don't have to worry. It's already been renewed for a 2nd season even though the ratings weren't great during the season and stink during the summer.

Hilarious sequence (esp. the mistaken 'father/daughter' makeout)! Great episode last nite.

Did a new episode air tonight? My guide says it was supposed to start at 9:30, and when I turned it on, there is some crappy Reality TV Show on; I think it's The Bachelorette. I cannot believe people watch this crap. This is some of the worst television I have ever seen in my life and I wish horrible, horrible things for everyone involved in this production. The only reason I still have it on is because I figure any minute they could cut in to Better Off Ted and I don't want to miss the episode.

There was a story in Variety that said they pushed off the last 2 episodes to August 11th.

I wish I had known. I watched like 20 minutes of The Bachelorette; I will never get back that time or the bliss of not knowing just how bad reality television has become.

Love this show. The fact that it survived still amazes me.

Thanks for the head's up. Nothing worse than sitting down to watch something on the DVR, getting all settled, and then finding out that what was recorded was not even what it says was recorded.

I'm glad there are two episodes on tonight. I've been dying to see the remaining episodes of the season. Definitely going to pick this up on DVD; can't wait for Season 2 to start.

Didn't realize there were 2 episodes tonight. Awesome!

That first episode was great. I really love this show. I hope the Second Season is just as good as this one.

(Watching this show really makes me miss Andy Richter Controls The Universe)

EDIT: I love the little things on this show; example - "It's like we have eyes everywhere...but not in a bad way, like the time we spilled the bucket full of eyes."

THese were real good and I was able to get the girlfriend in to it also so that is always good . I've told a lot of people about this show and how good it is.
